You need a burly downrigger for a 12# weight.

How is it working out on the yellowfin, Bill? How deep do you run the ball, and are you trolling blind or just setting the rig when you see some activity? Can you pick up yellowfin on your fishfinder?

Chris......My Scotty 1101 has handled the abuse fine, and it has been considerable.
I've never marked yellowfin on a fish finder before sighting birds, porpoise, or fish breaking on the surface. When there is some action on top I use the downrigger to get down under the surface action in hope of finding some bigger fish.
Yellowtail, however, school around bajos or other areas where bait abounds, and can usually be picked up on sonar. If a lively mackerel is slowed trolled behind a ball through a school of fish often it is just too enticing to pass up although they might not be actively feeding.
